Viretta Park

Kurt Cobain shrine park

151 Lake Washington Boulevard East
Seattle, WA 98122
+1 206 684 4075 (Information Center)

One of Seattle's many obscure, postage-stamp-sized parks, this spot has become a landmark of sorts in recent years, thanks to association with the late Kurt Cobain, who died in the shingled house to the north of the park. Fans leave flowers and other offerings on the park benches. And Howard Schultz of Starbucks built a controversial mansion south of the park. He landscaped part of the park itself, but under neighborhood pressure, he changed it back.
